Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (9 Nov 2022) Matt Carthy: Here is the real problem and issue.

Matt Carthy: It is incredible that the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, was aware of the proposal to hike toll charges and he failed to stop them immediately. He said yesterday morning he was reluctant to tackle toll rises if it would come at a cost to other priorities. I have to put it that the priority now should be to support workers and businesses facing a cost-of-living crisis and...
